About Us

Positive Growth Inc. (PGI) accredited by the National Council on Accreditation (COA), a non-profit organization founded in 1994 to provide consultation to residential treatment facilities in the Metro Atlanta area. Realizing the high rate of delinquency and homelessness in Georgia, PGI decided to increase its service base by providing troubled and homeless adolescent males with a clean, safe and nurturing environment to call home. This decision was fueled by a sincere passion to help youth succeed. Hence, in January 1996, the former Partridge Rest Home was purchased and the initial renovation was complete within a year. PGI was approved for operation from the Department of Human Resource and received its Child Care License in October of 1997; opening its doors as a quality residential out of home placement for troubled and/or homeless males between the ages of six and twenty-one.

The mission of Positive Growth Boys Home is to provide a structured, home-like environment for troubled and/or homeless adolescent males through spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional guidance. The vision of Positive Growth Boys Home is to bring about measurable positive changes in the aspirations, behavior and educational performance of program participants and encourage and motivate these youths to become effective managers of their lives. We believe that youth can be channeled in a positive direction and demonstrate positive behaviors that are socially acceptable. We also believe that they can be held responsible for their own actions; can develop a positive self-image through caring for and helping others; can become contributing members of society, and have a right to live in a clean, safe, and nurturing environment.

A considerable number of our children are repeatedly subjected to abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Our system of intervention and prevention is strong and consistent to ensure a safe, nurturing and productive future for these youth.

Positive Growth, Inc. is dedicated to helping our youth reach their greatest potential. Our emphasis is on providing quality care. Our youth have an opportunity to experience a stable foundation on which to build a wholesome and healthy life.
